SHEDDING SOME LIGHT ON LENDING: THE EFFECT OF EXPANDED DISCLOSURE LAWS ON HOME MORTGAGE MARKETING, LENDING AND DISCRIMINATION IN THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA |
27 Fordham Urban Law Journal 481 (December, 1999) |
In 1991, conventional home mortgage lenders disclosed vastly expanded information about their lending for the first time. The newly amended Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (the HMDA) required lenders to disclose information regarding the number of applications received, the race and income of applicants, the location of the property for which the... |

SUITS TO VOID DISCRIMINATORY EVICTIONS OF DISABLED TENANTS UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING AMENDMENTS ACT: AN EMERGING CONFLICT? |
33 Real Property, Probate and Trust Journal 649 (Winter, 1999) |
Editors' Synopsis: The Fair Housing Amendments Act (FHAA), enacted in 1988, added disabled persons to the groups protected from discrimination under the Fair Housing Act (FHA).

THE DISCRIMINATORY IMPACT OF TRADITIONAL LENDING CRITERIA: AN ECONOMIC AND MORAL CRITIQUE |
29 Seton Hall Law Review 1467 (1999) |
My discussion for purposes of this symposium centers on making not only an economic case for fair lending, but a moral case as well. I will first discuss briefly the importance of fair lending in general, then address the economic issues, and finally follow with the moral case. I begin by positing that lending discrimination is an illegitimate... |

THE FAIR HOUSING ACT AMENDMENTS AND AGE RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS IN CONDOMINIUMS AND COOPERATIVES |
73 Saint John's Law Review 273 (Winter 1999) |
Residential associations in condominiums and cooperatives have been described as mini-government[s], residential private governments, and even as quasi-government[s]--. . . little democratic sub societ[ies] of necessity.' These descriptions are due in part to the associations' broad powers over structural changes, as well as the ability to... |

THE WHITE SUPREMACIST STATUS QUO: HOW THE AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM PERPETUATES RACISM AS SEEN THROUGH THE LENS OF PROPERTY LAW |
21 Hamline Journal of Public Law and Policy 137 (Fall 1999) |
Hatred that rages in souls and suddenly loses its immediate object does not disappear without a trace. [R]acism is as healthy today as it was during the Enlightenment. It seems that it has a utility far beyond economy, beyond the sequestering of classes from one another, and has assumed a metaphorical life so completely embedded in daily... |

USING THE FAIR HOUSING ACT TO COMBAT PREDATORY LENDING |
6 Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy 73 (Winter, 1999) |
In this article, Frank Lopez examines various solutions to the widespread problem of predatory lending. Because minority borrowers are shut out from mainstream lending institutions, predatory lenders can make loans with exorbitant rates and excessive closing costs to low-income borrowers. These high costs often force borrowers into default,... |

WHAT DOES "TESTING" TELL US ABOUT THE INCIDENCE OF DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING MARKETS? |
29 Seton Hall Law Review 1488 (1999) |
Professor Paula Franzese, the organizer of this symposium, asked me to respond briefly to the following question: What do we know about the incidence of discrimination in housing? The question implies that there is a real-world phenomenon--housing discrimination--that is important to understand. Although academics often ignore reality, I assume... |

The session is over, the dust is set tling, and our citizen legislators are now back in the real world. Following this year's legislative session was quite an experience for veterans and novices alike.

"CANNONIZING" UNDER NEWT GINGRICH: THE SPEAKER'S CONSOLIDATION OF POWER IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES |
9 Stanford Law and Policy Review 165 (Winter, 1998) |
The turn of the century brought a steady rise in power of the Speaker of the House of Representatives that reached its peak during the Speakership of Joseph Gurney Cannon (R-IL). During Cannon's reign as Speaker from 1903 to 1911, House power was virtually consolidated into one person--the Speaker. Cannon's unbridled reign and successful... |

"REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION" UNDER THE FEDERAL FAIR HOUSING AMENDMENTS ACT |
25 Fordham Urban Law Journal 413 (Spring 1998) |
Congress amended the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act ('Fair Housing Act') in 1988 to end the unnecessary exclusion of persons with handicaps from the American mainstream.

8-FALL Journal of Affordable Housing & Community Development Law 36 (Fall, 1998) |
The lack of affordable housing in New York is a continuing problem despite years of litigation to establish a municipal duty to encourage its provision. Federal case law establishes that there is no individual constitutional right to housing. Under the Berenson line of cases, the New York appellate courts have articulated that municipalities may... |

ART AND IDEOLOGY IN THE THIRD REICH: THE PROTECTION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY AND THE HUMANITARIAN LAW OF WAR |
17 Dickinson Journal of International Law 1 (Fall 1998) |
Cultural property historically has been the target of invading armies. This plunder and looting has been driven by a desire to accumulate wealth and to psychologically dominate and to disable the indigenous population. One of the most infamous examples was Napoleon's looting of the treasures of Europe, perhaps the most conspicuous of which were the... |

BEYOND THE BELTWAY: COMPENSATORY AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN FAIR HOUSING CASES |
7 Journal of Affordable Housing & Community Development Law 218 (Spring, 1998) |
Undoubtedly, the heart of most fair housing litigation is the issue of liability, specifically whether a housing provider violated the antidiscrimination laws. However, the issue of damages, i.e., the compensation to be provided in the event of a finding of discrimination, is critical to the success or failure of these laws. Damages have ranged... |

BEYOND THE BELTWAY: EQUITABLE REMEDIES AVAILABLE IN FAIR HOUSING CASES |

In the last several commentaries, I focused on how courts evaluate what is and is not proscribed by the Fair Housing Act without actually addressing the available remedies in the event that discrimination is found. Available remedies fall roughly into two types: equitable remedies and monetary damages. This article will provide a brief survey of... |

CANONS OF PROPERTY TALK, OR, BLACKSTONE'S ANXIETY |
108 Yale Law Journal 601 (December, 1998) |
How do legal scholars talk about property? Here is one set of lines they are quite likely to quote: There is nothing which so generally strikes the imagination, and engages the affections of mankind, as the right of property; or that sole and despotic dominion which one man claims and exercises over the external things of the world, in total... |

CONFISCATED JEWISH PROPERTY IN VICHY, FRANCE: AN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THROUGH SHAKESPEARE |
20 Cardozo Law Review 591 (December, 1998) |
Now that the war is over, the question of how France treated property law and what it is doing to try to restore Jewish property leads me to as bleak a judgment about the matter as that rendered by Ambassador Lavie about the countries he is studying. In fact, Ambassador Lavie gave too bright a picture for France and the other western countries,... |

In 1958, the Boston Housing Authority (BHA) ordered the taking by eminent domain of a downtown Boston neighborhood called the West End. Forty years later, as the last parcel of this neighborhood was slated for redevelopment, the predominately white displaced residents asserted a statutory preference to all units in the new development. Accordingly,... |

HANDICAP DISCRIMINATION, ZONING, AND THE FEDERAL FAIR HOUSING ACT |
13 Maine Bar Journal 166 (July, 1998) |
Maine communities enjoy a high level of autonomy in regulating local matters. This authority is highly valued, particularly when it comes to an issue as fundamental as regulating the use of real property through zoning. In certain situations, however, zoning regulations can result in discrimination rather than promote the public welfare. In such... |

Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote that [e]very opinion tends to become a law. While it may not be the case that every opinion becomes law, certainly every law is based on some opinion. Michigan's laws are no exception to this phenomenon, with personal beliefs about morality, religion, and virtue forming the basis for many of the state's laws.... |
